EU SUSTAINABILITY POLICY UPDATE - Forced Labour Regulation: What Business Need to Know

CLOSED EVENT | MEMBERS ONLY

Draft Agenda

The EU Sustainability Policy Update series provides CSR Europe members with a unique opportunity to stay informed and engaged with the latest EU policy and legislative developments. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of key issues shaping the European Union's sustainability agenda and valuable insights into how to better align their strategies to the new regulations and initiatives, ensuring effective implementation. These dynamic, interactive one-hour sessions will feature European Union officials discussing selected files, alongside business representatives who will discuss potential challenges and solutions.

Entered into force in November 2024, the EU’s Forced Labour Regulation aims to stop the import, export and sale of products made with forced labour in the EU market by the end of 2027. This meeting aims to offer participants further insights into the regulation, outlining its key components and examining the impacts foreseen on businesses. It will also shed light on the forthcoming steps that businesses need to be aware of and take to ensure compliance.

The webinar will also explore how other peers are putting in place strategies to move forward.
